10-english-words-with-unfortunate-meanings-in-other-languages?email=acadia.experiment@gmail. There’s a name for the phenomenon of everyday English words that sound like less-innocent words in other languages: “false friends.”

Photo: Tony Nagy/Gallery Stock We’ve come a long way from 2011’s Tarmacgate, when 100-odd JetBlue passengers were stranded for seven hours on the runway.
